Chapter 109: Crown Prince's desire

Empress Dowager was starting to sweat. Her knees were hurting and her heartbeat had also accelerated due to old age. Her body was visibly shaking but the Emperor had no intention of letting her go.

"Yo–Your Majesty… plop!" She suddenly fell to the side in a dead faint before she could complete her words.

The people in the hall panicked and some started to call for the physician. That was when the Emperor turned his head.

"What are you still waiting for? Take Empress Dowager to her chambers and call the imperial physicians!" Eunuch Lu barked at the Dowager's servants and they quickly carried her away.

The giving of gifts continued and after a while, the Emperor's teacher stepped out with the help of another Minister.

"Your Majesty, today is a glorious day and this Minister and others beg your Majesty to choose an Empress on this day!"

"Please, choose an Empress for the Kingdom, your Majesty!!!" All the Ministers implored.
